AutoCAD Inventor :: Geometry Text - Projected Edges Displayed
Sep 27, 2011I am trying to add some text to the face of the part, no issues other than the projected edges are displayed as well, can the projected stuff be hidden?

View 1 RepliesI have looked thru the forum and didn't see this question anywhere. Many times I have to make mounting holes on large assemblies that have a lot of holes to project and extrude.
Is it possible for the Extrude command to pick all Projected Geometry automatically? If it looked only specifically for only projected geometry? It would save so much time instead of having to pick every single projected geometry hole to extrude.
Is there a way to quickly remove all geometric elements that have been projected upon a sketch?
I don't want to remove the constraints that lock them. I want to remove the elements that basically have that constraint.
I am struggling with projected geometry that is for some reason not updating in sketch when I change sorce element.
I have sketch in ipt file A.ipt
A.ipt is placed in A1.iam.
in A1.iam I create or place B.ipt
in B.ipt I create sketch and project some elements of A.ipt sketch to it.
After any change i sketch in A.ipt file I and up with elements projected to sketch in B.ipt not muchning elements they ware projected from.
I tried I think everything, adaptivity, creating additional points i A1.iam (they update properly but still projection is not updating).
We just upgraded from 2011 to 2013 and we are having SERIOUS problems with our projected sketch geometry in parts not updating. We have only done this about 1.1 million times over the past four years and now every one of our skeleton models we touch is failing to update and causing a whole mess of delays.
I looked through the Application options for sketching and didn't see anything.
projected geometry not updating between sketches in inventor 2013. I hope this will be fixed in 2013 sp1. I have noticed it happening alot when I project a line of another sketch that makes a single point in my new sketch. once the original skecth is changed the second one doesnt update sometimes. It doesnt do this 100 percent of the time just when I need to get stuff done.

I'm using Inventor 2012, and experiencing some trouble with certain types of projected geometry that I'm using in a sketch associated with a view in an .IDW file - but only when the view involves a break (or breaks).
I'm generating section views to show the layout of hole details at various axial locations along the part. When placing a section line, I can't "pick up" any appropriate locating geometry from the view. So, after creating the view (using just a vertical section line), I edit the sketch that defines the section line. Project some geometry (the edges of the holes, in the attached example), draw some additional geometry constrained to that, then constrain the section line to that. That works fine; if I move the view around, the section lines stay attached to it. This is what is shown in the attached "before break" picture.
When I apply a break to the drawing, though, the section lines don't follow the changing view. They stay right there, as if the view had not been broken at all. This is what's shown in the attached "after break" picture. Move the view around, and they track with it - but always staying the same "real" distance apart from each other. It is as if that projected geometry were completely ignoring the break.
I observe something similar if I start with an IDW view with one or more breaks, then create a sketch associated with the view. If I project geometry, some of it projects where it should, but other geometry projects elsewhere on the page - as if no breaks were present in the view.
The part I've shown here is something I put together as a simplified example of what I'm observing. The part I'm actually trying to detail is more complicated (many more details), and much longer (so breaks are a requirement to put it on paper).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to the world of CAD, and I was just working on a phone case for my friend when I tried to extrude geometry text, but couldn't because the OK and Apply options were greyed out. I tried embossing and making a hole, but they were greyed out for them too. I tried messing with the settings to see if I could fix it, but I still couldn't. I'm really confused right now, I remember doing something similar for a case I made for myself.?
View 3 Replies View Relateddoes Inventor offers any option to break geometry lines in drawing behind the text (e.g. notes and dimensions)? I tried this in IV 2009 as well as in IV 2011, but the result is the same in both version, shown on first image. The text is sometimes difficult to read when it is crossed with geometry lines.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I insert text with either the TEXT command or MTEXT command, the text is displayed mirrored. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the MIRRTEXT variable because that is used when I'm actually mirroring the text. In my case, the text is mirrored as soon as I insert it. How can I get it back to normal? Is there a variable I'm missing?
I'm using AutoCAD LT 2012 .
So, in max there is a way to turn this off. So that when you select an object the edges are not visible. That way, when you select and object and have a look at it, you do not have to be distracted by the wire frame.
Is there a way to do this is Maya? I'd lke the geo to appear as flat shading without the wireframe visible even when I select it.The reason is, I want to select it, and work on the UV mapping. I'd like to make some changes to the map, and see how they look on the model without having to deselect the mesh each time I make a change and what to see it without the wireframe.
I have a drawing of an assembly and have a sectioned view so as to see the internals. The assembly is very long so I've used 3 breaks to shorten it to fit the page. What I'm wanting to do is create a sketch and project the geometries of several parts so I can fill them in with color. The problem I'm having is when I click the lines I want projected, the lines don't form over the part but form where I assume they would be if there were no breaks on the view. I do this all the time and it works fine, but it's usually with only 1 break. I'm thinking it's the 3 breaks that are causing the problem.

I have the problem that the text in text boxes and measurements are displayed wrong. They are somehow mirrored. I tried to many settings but still it didn't changed. To show the problem better I added a picture of the problem.
I use Autocad 2013 on a 64 Bit Win 7 Professional SP1.
It is about mirroring text.I have MTEXT , so I want my text to be displayed by the mirror line but not to be mirrored itself so it can be readable. Imagine two twin buildings ,exactly the same but mirrored. I have one of them done , but not the other one. And they are huge. So when I try to mirror everything at the same time the text is going on its proper place but it's not readable cause it's mirrored. I know that there is an option this text to be only displayed , I've done this before , but I don't remember on which version. Now I'm using AutoCAD 2004.
View 5 Replies View RelatedText in the model space is displayed annoyingly thick. It was always ok but something changed beyond of my knowledge in one particular project only. Can't change it back, it plots ok though.
You can compare the pictures: two different files with absolutely identical text settings... And, when I try to choose between text styles in text properties it says "The current style has been modified..." although I did not! I think both things are related some how...

After upgrading to Inventor 2014 we notice that the graphics do not work properly, and that the overall performance in drawings and modelling bad compared to 2013. Then we installed SP1 and now drawing views are disappearing, however when we select "shaded" view the view reappears and works perfectly..
Any workaround regarding disappearing views?
Inventor is displaying the "male symbol" instead of a carriage return. It only does this once in a while, maybe once in 50 dimension edits, and if I edit the dimension again, backspace out the return and replace it then it will display correctly.

See the jpeg: 1.345 is a regular dimension, .875 is a hole note. The hole note is wrong.
(the part doesn’t have to be scrapped. It can be dis assembled, sent back for rework, refinished and reassembled.)
I wish to find out why Inventor 2012 simply refuses to display that main edge tha's on top..

I have attached a screen shot. I created this base plate as A572-50 steel and it is displayed as galvanized. The only thing on this assembly that is from the content center are the bolted connections and a few pieces of A53 pipe that is not shown in the image. All of the other parts and sub- assembly's and their parts are created with their appropriate grade of steel and also displayed as Galvanized. When they are place into the same assembly their materials and display are exactly like they are on the part level itself.
When I place the base plate from my project the initial preview of the the part shows it to be as it is in the part itself, A572-50 and galvanized. The problem comes when you actually drop it in the assembly. The material of the part is reverted to the Steel, Galvanized and is displayed as Generic. This causes a problem in my BOM and then some.
